Forest-Water-Walking-Trail / Heidekopftour

We normally see the landscape around us, and the forest in particular, as a symbol of stability. But here, too, there is always change and transformation, often over generations, but sometimes within a very short space of time: drought, bark beetles, storms, heavy rain, fire and cultivation.

The forest-water-change trail invites you to trace these processes. It focuses on our environment in the here and now, looks back over the past hundred years and looks ahead to future developments.

The most challenging version of the trail is the 4.5 km Heidkopf tour from the nature park school to the viewing tower on the 704 m high Heidekopf and back to the starting point. There are around 260 meters of altitude to overcome.

If you don't want to go quite so far and high, you can take the Kammweg (3.5 km, 115 vertical meters) or the 1.5 km long school circuit (85 vertical meters) for a shorter loop.

The trail runs along steep, narrow paths in places, which require sure-footedness and good footwear.
